I always wonder why did Singapore Gov ban chewing gum and some of us knew the logical reason behind the ban. Or maybe otherwise... :) There was a funny story i read while i was jay"blog"walking (heeehee) and it goes something like this...
Once upon a time in a galaxy far far away, Prime Minister of Singapore went to Thailand to have a dinner with the king of Siam. At first they ate a plate of prawns. While eating the prawns, PM of Singapore asked the king of Siam "What do your people do with prawn shells in Thailand? King of Siam said: "We do not do anything, we just remove the shells and throw them away only" PM of Singapore: "Oo.. In Singapore, we recycle the shells and turn them to prawn crackers, then we export to Thailand"
After that, they ate some oranges. Singapore PM asked again "After eating the orange, what do Thai people do with the orange peel?" King of Siam said, "We do not do anything, we just throw the orange peel away" Singapore PM: "Oo.. In Singapore, we recycle orange peel and produce lemon juice, then we export to Thailand."
Lastly, the King offered Singapore PM a pack of chewing gum. As usual, PM Singapore asked "What do your people do with chewing gums in Thailand after they chew them?" King of Siam said, "We do not do anything, we just dispose the gums into trash bins". Singapore PM said "Oo. In Singapore,the disposed chewing gums are recycled to become condoms, then we export to Thailand". To the King's anger he asked "What do the Singaporeans do with the condoms after they use them?" PM Singapore smirked and said "After using the condoms, we just throw them away!!" King of Siam cynically replied "Oo.. In Thailand, the used condom are recycled to become chewing gum, after that we export to Singapore!!!"
Erk! You should've seen the expression of Singapore PM's face!! hahaha. As soon as the Singapore PM arrived to the country, he announced the ban for consuming and importing chewing gum, until now!
What a joke huh! hahahaha...
